I'm in Peanut Butter Heaven with PB Crave!

PB Crave

If Peanut Butter became outlawed tomorrow, my family would be in some kind of trouble for sure. We are such peanut butter consumers, that rarely a day goes by that someone isn't requesting a PBJ, Peanut Butter on toast, or a teaspoon of peanut butter to cure the hiccups. It is one of the most used, valuable commodities in my home. When we need a quick sweet snack for a party at Hubby's work, I simply whip together my quick and easy Peanut Butter Cookies that only require 3 ingredients. My stockpile has at least 6 jars at all times, and for the last 3 months, I have been making the peanut butter we eat now homemade from peanuts. Bottom line is our family loves peanut butter!

PB Crave is like the Rolls Royce of Peanut Butter Companies. It was founded by Curt Riess who disliked peanut butter for years until one day he tried peanut butter, raspberries and chocolate and something magical happened. Peanut Butter was transformed into something amazing, and Curt began his own company and developed four unique flavors!

I received a package containing Razzle Dazzle, Cookie Nookie, Coco Bananas, and Choco Choco to assist my review. True story, my husband works nights and is up all night on his "days off." I caught him the night we got them in the mail at midnight, spoon in hand with all four jars open eating them all. I quickly gave him the blogger speech about how we don't open anything until pics have been taken, and grabbed my own spoon!! Hey, it was already open!

I was surprised that the peanut butters weren't TOO sweet because their names sound so "dessert-like" that I was expecting a very sweet product. They are lightly sweetened with honey along with natural flavors like bananas, chocolate chunks and raspberry flavoring.

My favorite by far was the Razzle Dazzle which boasts both white and dark chocolate, raspberries and honey. It's like a carnival of flavor popping in my mouth. My oldest son favored this one as well, and asked every morning if he could have some on his toast before school!

My daughter Suzannah loves the Coco Bananas, and it was my second favorite. It is really bursting with banana flavor, and Suzannah says she could taste the banana more than the Peanut Butter, but I think they are equal.

Cookie Nookie was loved by all, and I even made some peanut butter cookies one day with it, and they left me a crumb filled plated in no time! It took me back to my teen years when I loved to buy a tube of Cookie Dough and eat it raw!

Choco Choco was Mika's favorite because at two he thought he was eating chocolate every day for lunch but Mama knew he was eating healthy peanut butter with chunks of authentic Belgian chocolate in it which is very healthy for the body!

We were overall pleased with the Peanut Butters, and they are something we will splurge on again from time to time. They are pricier than most peanut butters at $17.97 for 3 so for us they are definitely a splurge rather than an every day peanut butter. However, considering the high quality ingredients used in making these butters, I think they are definitely fairly priced. My favorite thing about the PB Crave Company in general is that a minimum of 2% of the cost of each jar of peanut butter goes to Project Peanut Butter, a non-profit that treats malnourished children!

I learned they have a Project Peanut Butter, so support malnourished children. The non-profit organization has helped save the lives of more than 100,000 children through ready-to-use therapeutic foods (RUTFs) featuring high-calorie, fortified peanut butter-like pastes.

I am also a serious lover of PB, I eat the jar-ful on a weekly basis, it's my bassic veg protein booster snack and meal enhancer. That said, I truly appreciate the quality ingredients (no can sugar) and highly intriguing variety of PB they offer, would love to try it and shar it with my people. Peace and thx.

We are also a big peanut butter household. I would hate to see how much we go through in a year! ;) I was excited to learn that they have –No hydrogenated oil–No artificial flavors–No syrups–No high-fructose corn syrup Those are all important to us! Thank you for the chance to win.

I love that a minimum of 2% of the profits from every jar of PB Crave peanut butter goes directly to Project Peanut Butter, a non-profit organization focused on treating malnourished children. Not only does it taste good I'm sure, but they do good too!
